Talk:Anne Rudloe

Disclaimer
Proposed article and statement of possible conflict of interest: I have worked at Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratory as a volunteer and met Anne at that time. I considered her to be a friend but we were not close friends and our friendship was based on mutual interest in environmentalism and as fellow women scientists. I receive no money from GSML or from anyone else for writing this and no one asked me to write it although I have discussed the possibility with her husband and sons. I just think she is a notable person. Bjorklund21 (talk) 18:04, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh Bjorklund21, I have a COI problem too--I can't stand FSU! Don't worry about it: she strikes me as notable too, and the tone of the article is neutral enough, as far as I'm concerned. Tell you what, let's call in the big guns and see if we can get her on the front page:, do you have time for a marine biologist who, from what I can tell, has done some good?

 * Hey Rosiestep et alia, we can throw in Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratory as well, which was moved into mainspace on 16 February. Drmies (talk) 18:38, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I am delighted with this, absolutely delighted! Thank you so very much. Anne told me she felt FSU really screwed her over on multiple occasions, partly the typical discrimination against women of academia, and she had little positive to say about them. Her husband even sued them for libel because FSU published an article claiming he had stolen specimens from them and sold them. They were supposed to publish a full apology and agreed to do so but never did. Because Anne had just been diagnosed with cancer and was very ill, they decided to let it drop rather than go to court all over again to get them to actually publish the retraction.
 * and Thanks for shining a light on this woman marine biologist; great article. I've pulled it out of AfC, added cats, did a little c/e. Let's work on it over the weekend and get it to DYK! --Rosiestep (talk) 05:54, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Anne was a remarkable woman. This is good news. And thank you both for your help and patience with a newbie. Bjorklund21 (talk) 11:06, 21 February 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjorklund21

Citations of foundings
I find the citations don't always map well to the information being cited, particularly around the founding of the Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratory. (That page's citations seem a little weak too.) As far as I can tell, Jack Rudloe founded a for-profit organization, the Gulf Specimen Marine Company, in 1963/1964, years before they married; Anne founded the Panacea Institute of Marine Science in 1980 after they married; and the two organizations combined to become a non-profit, the Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratory at some time for which I can't find a working citation with date. If this can be expanded with careful citations, it would improve the article, and help with the DYK hooks. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 19:13, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
